Take the matter of turkey eggs
alone for instance. If all the hens of
the 1931 crop had been properly
penned and fed, the income from
their eggs might have been in the
neighborhood of $32575,000 of which
$1,500,000 would have been clear prof-
it to the growers. According to 0. M.
McAlister of Cuero. some turkey
raiser* are finding that the turkey
hen is a more valuable bird as a layer 1
than as a Christmas dinner, and are
reaping handsome profits from their !
egg.*.
